Great Creator

The gods punished Zhibei City into a barren land overnight, and the grandeur of the former capital disappeared. Although half a year has passed, it still makes those who speak tremble and those who hear it tremble.

To this day, Ban Jin still sees many people praying on their knees in the temple, begging the gods not to bring disaster to him.

Many people also mentioned the changes in Zhibei City with expressions of fear.

No one dared to say that the gods did something wrong, but after all, most of them felt sorry for knowing Beicheng. Now, the surviving members of the royal family of the Zhuang Kingdom had to set up another capital and organized some people to act as officials, and finally the Zhuang Kingdom was not destroyed because of this. However, due to the loss of almost all the ministers in the country, the Zhuang Kingdom is now unavailable, and the army has also suffered a lot. The national power is no longer what it used to be.

The former Zhuang Kingdom was the most powerful vassal state among the human race, but now it is directly abolished.

After walking for a long time, Ban Jin finally arrived outside Zhibei City.

Today's Zhibei City has no city walls, and outsiders come here occasionally, but most of them stay away from here like the plague. After all, this place has been punished by God, and most people are still afraid of being affected.

Ban Jin rode his stick, found a stone platform outside Zhibei City, and rested his feet.

There is no such man-made platform in the city anymore, and this one was kept because of the distance from the city wall.

He watched the situation in the city from a distance.

The city was unexpectedly calm, it was noon now, and in many places, cooking smoke was rising.

Ban Jin and Shutong ate some dry food, drank water, and rested, then stood up and entered the place that used to be Zhibei City.

He had been to Zhibei City before, and the city was resplendent and lively at that time.

But now, his first impression here was that it was quiet.

The earth-shattering changes half a year ago did not bring any casualties to Zhibei City. Everyone was alive, but they and their lives had changed too much.

Nowadays, there are a lot fewer people here. It is said that many people have been taken away by relatives and friends outside, and most of the people left behind are families with little support outside.

"In the past, this place used to be a road paved with bluestone slabs." Ban Jin said to the book boy.

However, what they stepped on was uneven soil.

The glory has faded from the entire city, and what remains are only thatched huts, fields, human plows, crude wells, primitive farming methods, and...

Ban Jin approached a thatched cottage and looked at the residents sitting at the door.

They were dressed in bark and grass clothes. It was spring and the weather was still a bit chilly, so these people covered their bodies in layers, like haystacks.

A young man was gnawing on a sweet potato dug out from nowhere. The sweet potato was still muddy, and the white inner core was exposed under his gnawing. The sweet potato was eaten before it was cooked.

Others were cooking fires, but didn't even have a cooking pot. The whole family was wearing grass clothes and barefoot, eating something together.

Many thatched huts in the city have been demolished, and some people have grown some radishes, sweet potatoes and other long-lasting foods that can satisfy their hunger.

More people choose to collect fruit outside the city, or try to hunt some small animals. But they have no weapons, and it is difficult to hunt them down.

In this city, walking around, checking one by one, suddenly, Ben Jin stopped as if awakened.

"Here is Zhuangguo's government office, and here, it should be a place where political affairs are often dealt with..."

However, what the book boy saw were only a few abandoned thatched huts.

Ban Jin also deduced it based on his own memories of the city in the past, plus some signs. Seeing the once grand scene turned into this, he felt complicated and inexplicable.

After turning around a few ruins, the two walked to a small house.

Ban Jin couldn't help but get excited after confirming the terrain repeatedly outside. This place should be the former Zhuang State's mansion, that is, the place that carries the history of Zhuang State.

He hurried into the house, trying to find the remnants of the past.

However, inside the thatched cottage, there are only some dilapidated tiles and a few bark. Ancient symbols are engraved on the tiles and bark, not words, probably records used by witchcraft.

"Here, there used to be the history books and records of the entire Zhuang Kingdom, and there are many documents..."

Ban Jin muttered to himself, his hands trembling all the time.

However, the gods destroyed all traces of civilization in the city. Including things, including people.

All of a sudden, Ban Jin heard the sound of something precious breaking in his heart.

As a human race, he also has belief in the gods. After all, this is a habit passed down by every human race from a long time ago, but he cannot accept such punishment from the gods on the human race.

In this way, what is the difference between completely destroying the city?

That day, Ban Jin wandered around the city with the book boy for a long time until it was dark. History, completely receded from this city. All people also lost their wisdom and culture.

At the end, he was already in tears and couldn't stand up anymore.

In the end, the two found an abandoned vacant house to live in and rested for one night.

The next day, Ban Jin packed up and took the book boy out of the room.

There is nothing worth looking at here anymore, he plans to go back to Ya Country first and record the things here.

Just when the two walked halfway, a bright color suddenly appeared in the countless earthy yellow scenes.

A girl about 16 or 7 years old has an exquisite appearance and is unbelievably beautiful. It's okay for Ban Jin to be older, but his book boy just stares blankly, and won't even walk.

The girl was wearing a blue robe, carrying two long swords on her back, and holding a large wooden box in her hand, walking past the two of them lightly.

The wooden box was obviously very big, but the girl held it as if it was nothing, as if it had no weight.

When passing by, the girl just looked at the two of them for a while, and then didn't pay attention to them any more, but got into a thatched hut by the roadside.

Then, she heard her talking softly to the people in the house, asking if they needed anything else.

Ban Jin was a little surprised. This girl was obviously from outside the city. Since she was able to bring things to the people in the house, why didn't she just move them away?

He didn't walk away for a while, but stood outside the house.

Ban Jin originally thought he would have to wait for a long time, but he didn't expect the girl to come out of the room soon.

She asked Ban Jin: "Wait outside, but do you need me?"

Ban Jin didn't expect the girl to discover her intention so quickly, and felt a little embarrassed.

After all, he was still alive for a long time, so he calmed down and said to the girl:

"This is the historian of the Ya Kingdom, surnamed Ban and named Jin. He came here all the way to collect wind, and saw that Zhibei City had been ruined to this point. He was depressed. He wanted to take a walk in the city, but accidentally saw the girl bringing things to the people in the city. I don't know..."
